or to take even less time, try

$ file foo.dmg

if it says something like iso9660 in the output, chances are you
can burn right away.  if it's not, i'd ask the mac people about the
format, and see if you could find specifications on it.  i don't image
that it could be that different from an iso image, as you'd need to
convert it to iso before burning it to a cd.  in a worst case situation
i'd guess that it's a file with a bunch of meta-data followed by
an iso image.
